I agree that 1 and 0 would be more intuitive. I'm not certain why it is not like this, but I do have a guess. Because PHP is basically typeless, and because the string 0 should evaluate to true (it does in C), using 0 as false might cause some problems or at the very least create some ambiguitity or confusion. That's a guess anyway.
